34:24 He shatters the great without inquiry, 1
and sets up others in their place.
34:25 Therefore, he knows their deeds,
he overthrows them 2 in the night 3
and they are crushed.
34:26 He strikes them for their wickedness, 4
in a place where people can see, 5
34:27 because they have turned away from following him,
and have not understood 6 any of his ways,
34:28 so that they caused 7 the cry of the poor
to come before him,
so that he hears 8 the cry of the needy.
34:29 But if God 9 is quiet, who can condemn 10 him?
If he hides his face, then who can see him?
Yet 11 he is over the individual and the nation alike, 12
